Wait, so this is a graph-like layer on top of an SQL database? I don't quite understand this claim:

"DB API is designed for fast performance. No implicit joins or other magic, but expressive enough for nice readable code."

When you have a database with a node, edge, and node_data (EAV) tables.

What am I missing? How would I get a node and its properties including edges, other nodes, etc. without joining other tables or flat-out magic?
